Weeks 3-4: Step It Up
Now it’s time to create a workout plan and use slightly heavier
weights. You should begin to feel each workout ending with a bit of
fatigue in the muscle, and soreness in the area trained for about 1-3
days afterwards. That’s your goal — not “pain”, but soreness. It’s a
good sore, trust me.
Here’s an ideal beginner’s workout. In fact, I can

as almost everyone is overtrained rather than undertrained. Again, you
must have your thinking, goals and nutrition plan set. This
is where Fit

literally. I had one client write me and say that just one suggestion
